2013 is the last year the new Indian Chief is available. Because very few were assembled and there won’t be any more, is it an instant collectible? Some think so. Time will tell. It is expected that interest for the new generation of Indian will be extremely high, so I hear that some current Indian dealers offer extra incentives (parts, accessories or apparel) if you purchase one of the few remaining 2013 Chiefs. Well I just told you…Indian Motorcycle.

“The next generation of Indian motorcycles will be powered by this brilliant new engine, developed by Indian-Polaris engineers and designers. It captures the spirit of the legendary Indian brand, America’s first and finest motorcycle. 2014 Indian Chiefs will be introduced late this year, but the engine was unveiled at Daytona Bike Week. (Click on pic for the story.) We are the World’s #1 Indian Dealer. Call or visit us soon.”

I guess what they are saying is is your last and only chance to buy a 2013 model before they go to close-out prices.

I just can’t FEEL this Indian ‘thing”1 To me it is a after market look alike HD Clone built by tha California Motorcycle Company. Although through some and I mean “very little” R&D a distant Cousin with some new Duds are going to appear with a New Suit (Polaris) with deep Pockets.. Are going to give the Bastard Cousin a New Pedigree. All Good, don’t forget the “HEART & SOUL). That is what makes a Pedigree!

Only living animals have hearts and only human beings have souls. Whenever I hear someone say that my Victory “has no soul” I laugh and think that must be the only thing they can think of to sooth their ego as they watch my tail light. If I had a corporate logo tatoo’d on my arm I’d probably try and come up with an excuse to justify my brand loyalty too. And yes, I have ridden Harley and several other brands. I get it, it feels good to ride a Harley. But they don’t have a soul, there’s nothing magical about them. They’re just nice bikes. And it feels great to ride my Vic.

Yes Bigalyts I realize that. You were talking about that “Indian Thing” and I was replying to the “Heart and Soul” thing. My Victory was only a singular example of the “No soul” comments made towards bikes not manufactured by Harley…which appears to include the “Indian Thing”.
